The theme for round 11 of the photo competition is 'Circles'.
Should be an easy one to keep on topic, I hope! Photograph anything which is circular or spherical. From here at my desk I see lots of eligible subjects - the mouth of a cup or glass, a plant pot, the top of a bottle, the buttons on my phone, the earpieces on my headphones, the end of a whiteboard marker... plenty of possibilities without even moving.
In contrast to previous themes, please don't try and stretch the meaning of this one - so, for example, a pic of your circle of friends is well off topic. Your photo must include the whole or part of a circle or it's disqualified. (An ellipse is acceptable :))
To keep things tidy, competition entries only in this thread please - all discussion to be held here (http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=360149).
Good luck everyone :D
Rules (changes from previous rounds in italics):
1. No image will be greater than 800 pixels along its longest side.
2. Image overall will not exceed 120kb.
3. Image must have been taken within the competition period, which is from 8th Sept to midnight on 22nd Sept.
4. Each submitter can change their posted image at any time (using edit function).
5. Maximum of three (3) images per submitter, per competition.
6. Digital manipulation is permitted in order to correct technical issues such as dust or noise on the image. Subtle sharpening, levels and contrast adjustment are allowed, provided that the end result faithfully resembles the image that was in front of the camera during the exposure. It is not permitted to add or remove elements of the image or to apply digital 'effects'.
7. Image must be hosted so that it appears correctly in the competition thread and must remain so for the period of the competition including voting. Any images that do not appear correctly won't poll may votes, obviously.
8. Image must be titled but not on the image itself. I.e. some bold text naming the image should be posted at the same time as the image itself. In addition, any details of the image itself should also be posted (this is a learning exercise after all). E.g. EXIF data or maybe just aperture, shutter speed, equipment used.
9. There will be no posts in the competition thread other than those for the posting of competition images. All discussion should be held in other threads.
10. There are no judges, only votes from Scoobynet members, and it's their collective decision which is final. The '10 points' voting scheme will be used.
11. Images will meet the requirements of the ScoobyNet T&Cs
12. Winner gets to choose the theme for the next round.
